Around the Japanese release of Otogi, people could get JIVE records CDs and DVDs for raffle tickets to win an Xbox and Otogi bundle or a DVD with FromSoftware and Britney Spears promo material. The DVD contained:

- a demo of Otogi
- two trailers for the game
- two Britney Spears videos

The two trailers for Otogi were accompanied by Britney Spears' 2002 single "Overprotected".



Those were the days.

Let's be honest... From before Dark Souls (Demon Souls if we are being pedantic) was a VERY strange company with a VERY strange software output :-D

 

[Randall365]

She'd make a good boss tbf - would be an enjoyable fight.

 

[GymWolf]

How to forget some of her most iconic songs like oops i died again, i'm tarnished 4 U or Toxic(swamp).

 

[Magic Carpet]

She'd make a good boss tbf - would be an enjoyable fight.

Fromsoft does a musical battle like in Hi Fi Rush?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Brittney the Exploited

What about her second phase, Britney the elongated? She could have been perfect as the boss for sen fortress

 

[tusharngf]

What...

 

[DeepEnigma]

What about her second phase, Britney the snakehead? She could have been perfect as the boss for sen fortress

Great minds.

How can we forget that FROMSoftware exists solely because its founder got into a motorcycle crash:

I had a motorcycle accident some time ago, which resulted in me being hospitalized for treatment and giving me four months to think about things. It was during this time that I decided to go independent and found FromSoftware, so looking back, I think that was a very important event.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

We know why we are getting that Xbox emulator now!

 

[Fake]

No. And I don't want to.

 

[GrayChild]

No. And I don't want to.

Oh well... hopefully you're more into Evanescence then:

[Shifty1897]

This collab was weird for its time

BUT

Modern day Britney could absolutely be a FromSoft boss now.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Damn. If Ms releases Otogi 1/2 on PC I will be forced to buy something from their store. These games are so fuckin good.

[adamsapple]

I volunteer !

Otogi looks cool as fuck!

 

[The Fartist]

Britney rules

 

[DarkLordOtaku]

They were simpler times

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Time for another collaboration.
Britborne.
Every boss is dual-wielding Britney, getting progressively crazier.

 

[Fahdis]

What about her second phase, Britney the elongated? She could have been perfect as the boss for sen fortress

Where's her weak spot for massive damage?

 

[Ryseer]

 

[Banjo64]

The collab we all wanted.

 

[Witchilich]

Update: Oops my bad. It was in Japan, so that was definitely FromSoftware x Britney Spears collab, not Sega.

She also made a song dedicated to the From fanbase:

I always thought this was an ode to the poison swamp...

Remember when video games had actual cultural relevance and weren't created by bizarre communist/hypercapitalist hybrids that don't experience human emotions?

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Kinda hot tbh

 

[Moses85]

Fortunally Not

 

[Syphon Filter]

I don't remember but thanks for letting me know. Overprotected is an awesome song.

That reminds me. Koei Tecmo made a Nobunaga's Ambition style mmo mobile game with the big idol group AKB48, "AKB48's Ambition" lol.

Before the map resets, battles are mainly dedicated to capturing as many provinces as possible to compete for a high player ranking. Player rankings decide the rarity of the in-game gifts the player can receive during weekly check ups. The top seven ranking players are dubbed the "Seven Heroes" of their faction.

Rival provinces can be taken once its ten bases are destroyed; bases are toppled once the invading faction claims an allotted number of victories within it. Victories or defeats are individual bouts between the player and/or a NPC/rival player using a team of character cards prepared in advance. When conflict initiates, the player is entreated to an automated battle sequence. The leading battle maidens duel one another before charging with their armies.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I can fix her.

The exception to the crazy to hot matrix.

As usual, From knows.

There is at least one barefoot Britney Spears photo on a hard drive inside From software. There is probably a big inside secret like she is the foot model for every bare female foot in their games.

 

[Randall365]

Where's her weak spot for massive damage?

In the words of John Barnes, 'there's only one way to beat them, get round the back'.

Quite good advice for souls tbf - get right up in there.
